The a citizen oi the United States, residing at outer end of the rubber 13 is provided with a Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and lengthwise groove I8 on its inner face, and 55 State. of Illinois, have invented certain new from its outer face extends a stud i9. A pit-- and useful Improvements in Starching-Maman 2O connects the stud 19 with one of the chines, ot which the following is a speoilicacranks of the driving-shaft tion.
